I stayed here for a work trip and unfortunately found the staff fairly slow and dismissive. I needed late dinner on the roof one evening and it took a very long time to get served (30 mins for a drink). The person serving me didn’t seem concerned and just grumbled when I asked about the delay. Hotel is getting very tired and in need of refurbing. There was a sinkhole up the street - a pretty big emergency for West Hollywood - and the staff and no instruction for how we could be impacted or what to do. They didn’t really acknowledge it at all. Not the best stay - maybe just not good for business travellers.

Petit Ermitage is a fun, funky, caberet of an \"experience\"- tucked into a tiny street in the middle of West Hollywood, it's a weird retreat from regular life. Covered in ivy, filled with art, discreet, hushed, quirky- if you want a getaway this is the place. The carpet was kinda gross and the mini bar extended all the way through the room. It was kind of trying to be Chateau Marmont, but I've stayed at Chateau Marmont several times and Petit Ermitage is not it. The fire beds on the roof bar were fun, the service was ok. The valet was lovely. The clientele is a little Influencer/Coachella culture. Guest only restaurant is a little different. The tea service came with adorable tiny honey jars- love!

This property needs significant updates. The rooms are dark and dated, with flickering overhead lighting that creates an unsettling atmosphere. The air conditioning unit is a window-mounted unit that appears unstable and could fall out at any moment.
While the staff was friendly and well-intentioned, there were consistent communication issues with even basic requests, which made the stay frustrating.
The property's overall condition feels run-down and poorly maintained. For the price point, I expected much better. I would not recommend this hotel and will not be returning.

I loved my room and the amenities during my stay here, but I chose to rate the property 3 out of 5 stars because of my experience there as a person of color. I received a lot of negative interactions by both staff and guests, perceivably because of my skin tone. While other POC employees were very friendly, the intentional delays of service and derogatory comments (in both English and other languages they thought I wouldn’t understand) by white employees and fellow guests in the lobby and on the elevator would make me think think twice about choosing this venue if you are not white. Also, be wary of extra service charges added to the bill, whether you utilized room service or not.

Staff was wonderful and I wanted to like this place, as I’ve heard great things. Unfortunately during my stay there was a DJ on Saturday and it turned into a wild wild party scene. People screaming and running through the halls until around 4:30am. I paid over $600 with the resort fee, $72 required valet (due to permit only street parking), taxes, and bogus mini bar charges on my bill. The rooms are dark and musty with the mattress feeling super old and droopy in the center. I would definitely not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.

For the most part, a good experience. The rooftop restaurant is a true jewel, with lush plant life and spectacular views of the surrounding city. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful (our waitress at the restaurant and the valet parkers deserve particular notice). But the hotel is a bit like Hollywood itself: puffed up with self-importance, somewhat ragged around the edges. You never get the feeling that you're truly valued when a guest at Petit Ermitage; you come away with the feeling that they are doing YOU a favor when answering a simple question or providing you service, rather than delivering the first-class service that the hotel's nightly price should guarantee. Oh, our room was also dark and musty. Will we be back? Unlikely.

I was put in a Queen room rather than the King room I had reserved. When I went to reception in the morning to alert them to the mistake I was met with a blank stare — Finally the desk clerk said he could “probably” find a king room by early afternoon. No apology, no assurance that my account would be credited…In essence, no adequate customer service.

Horrible I checked into my hotel one hour past check-in time which I didn’t make a big deal about because the person at the front desk said that they would give me a late check out. I was not given a late check out and was met with a rude phone call from the person at the front desk demanding I leave the room. When I found other people at the hotel who confirmed that I did get a late check-in she still continued to be rude so I ended up just leaving an hour and a half before my set check in time because I just couldn’t even relax anymore very disappointed

My girlfriend and I stayed in a suite for two nights and the room was great. Between 6:00 and 7:00 am our first morning, the toilet kept us awake with very loud gurgling sounds. Around 9:00 am, my girlfriend sat on the toilet in the dark, without realizing that water and feces erupted onto the toilet seat and surrounding floor. We spoke with the general manager, Maria, who did not seem too concerned that my girlfriend sat in feces. Maria offered a food and beverage comp and was not willing to do anything more, insisting that since we booked the rooms on Expedia, this was all they could do. It’s hard to imagine a more disgusting hotel experience. We were very disappointed about the way in which the general manager treated this situation as if it was a minor inconvenience rather than a significant health hazard.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this stay fell far below reasonable expectations for a hotel in this price range.

On the first night, there was severe bass noise from an undisclosed basement club that continued until 4 am, followed by loud disturbances in the hallways until 6 am involving individuals who were later confirmed by security to not be registered hotel guests. Despite multiple calls, the issue was not resolved until nearly dawn, and I did not get meaningful sleep.

The following day, I was told a room change would be arranged, but no update or plan was provided well into the evening. When I contacted Expedia to explore options, a front desk staff member escalated the situation by repeatedly calling my room and then opening my door without permission to confront me over billing while I was on the phone. There was no emergency, no prior notice, and the interaction was unnecessarily confrontational. Another male staff member was brought to my doorway, which made the situation feel uncomfortable and unsafe.

I had planned to stay another night and confirmed refund for the last 2 nights of my 4 night stay, however I vacated immediately after being harassed by hotel staff. They processed a refund for my last 2 nights as discussed, but offered no remedy for the first night or second night. I had to pay for two hotels on the second night of my vacation, but was worth it to move to the Sun Rose.

This is one of my favorite hotels to stay at for my regular staycations. The rooftop is the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself and definitely a place where you can feel comfortable talking with other guests. My only annoyance was the $50 corkage fee for opening and drinking the wine that came in my room, on the rooftop. I’ll definitely be checking in a few more times this year though :) Highly Recomend.

My boyfriend and I chose to celebrate his 50th birthday by booking a Grand Belle Suite. We checked in late on a Friday and from the time we valeted until the next morning was littered with unacceptable service from a hotel, especially when charging $1600 a night. We decided to leave after one night there. We were told from the staff that our patio light had to be left on bright to keep away the rats and possums. We had guests playing loud music until 5 am. We had 3 Italian men in the room next to us who were arguing

We originally booked one of the cheap rooms. But I couldn’t get over the style discrepancy. So I decided to upgrade to a red premium rooms as a surprise for my partner. Unfortunately, when I arrived, they didn’t have any knowledge of my room upgrade. We walked into the original room instead of the surprise.

When we went back down to alert them to the error, I found out they’d given my room to someone else!! And after blaming Expedia for the error, they weren’t terribly apologetic or helpful.

My surprise was ruined…. Which really bummed me out. But they gave us a comprable room and we made the best of it.

The blue room was beautiful—we loved it. And the vibe of the hotel grew on me throughout our stay. It’s kinda dated and shabby. A lot of the art isn’t good. But it’s got CHARACTER! Being there feels like a fever dream-from the crowd to the improv jazz upstairs, it’s a vibe. A totally unique experience. So in the end I was happy.

But they DO need to work on a few things—the bathroom near the pool had no toilet paper or seat covers. When I’m paying over $1K per night, I expect more. The service wasn’t particularly friendly or helpful. We never knew what the WiFi was, nor did anyone tell us how to find the pool and the jazz. The place smells like an eccentric old man, and kinda feels like that too. It’s not for everyone. But if you’re looking for a romantic hidden gem and like an out-of-the-box experience, this might be it!

A subject of reflection

I am a native angeleno. I had to leave my home for some maintenance and stay at a hotel. Had heard wonders about here but it may have been the bar / lounge. It’s incredibly over priced for the quality. Building is old, beds are uncomfortable. Room View is null. You get tacked with excess feed that should be included in your booking. It’s not worth the hype. It’s not the four seasons. If you’re looking for a bar with great drinks and food and incredibly friendly service, sure. Other than this, the room is ok. The bathroom and bathroom amenities are great. Only exception is the tub/ water leakage if you’re not cautious. You have to be familiar with tubs / showers like this. Luckily, this is my setup at home. If you aren’t used to it, you can spill water everywhere. I’d say the price overall should reflect the space & hotel itself. Phone has loads of issues. You’ll have to call the front desk numerous times before getting an answer and the pilot in the fire place is tricky. It makes you think it’s not functioning properly and you’re inhaling Carbon monoxide lol ( odorless/ colorless). Again, view from my room was underwhelming but the views in this area of Hollywood aren’t something spectacular either. If you want some entertainment from your room, the tv has issues. But you could look out the window and watch someone fail miserably at parking / exiting the gravel covered space. Glad I was only in for a night. More than that is too much.

The property is very nice, offering a bohemian hotel vibe. It’s laid-back and relaxing with a vibrant pool. The service is quite mixed: some staff members go above and beyond, striving to anticipate your every need, while others try to upsell aggressively and can be extremely rude, requiring you to request a manager. This contrast—where every guest feels both welcomed and occasionally mishandled—creates a unique experience. However, most of the staff are friendly

There was 3 lovely guest service people that tried their best. This AM when I asked for a late check out because I was exhausted from not sleeping due to discomfort. And suggested by the 3 kind guest services. The person I spoke to denied my request and unprofessionally told me that she was going to write up the lovely, wonderful woman who suggested I ask for a late check out.

In room breakfast was very good but the plates were not hot which meant it got cold pretty quick. We had just arrived from the UK so were quite jet lagged and waking up early. There was generally people still partying from the night before so the pool deck was not the cleanest when we used it *around 6am. I did see someone come out to clean up just as i headed back to my room about 6 30ish. In room Keurig but no milk was a bit annoying.

The weekend staff was terrific, Monday's front desk clerk needs to be less condescending and more helpful. The rooms are definitely cute, but the lighting is inadequate given the floor elevations and floor covering transitions. The bed was far from comfortable. Also, be advised that there is a $43 AMUSEMENT FARE added to every bill that supposedly is a hidden Los Angeles City Tax that is on top of the already steep $57 we were charged for Taxes & Fees and yet another line of $49.75 RESORT FEE (Can You Say RIPOFF). Won't be going back here anymore as there are some beautiful properties nearby that have a higher room rate, but lower overall cost...

Unsafe and Discriminatory Hotel

Discriminatory staff turn a blind eye to illegal and uncomfortable activity happening on their rooftop (for example, a guy on dr*gs trying to jump off the roof, etc) to the detriment of the actual paying guests who either are told there’s nothing that could be done about the noise and disturbances or, as in our case, are targeted by staff for not being the typical individual they seem to want to attract. We will be reporting on this further as I believe the hotel is an unsafe space.

The hotel is beautifully decorated and maintained. The desk clerk, host and valet staff we encountered were thoughtful, kind, and welcoming.

We loved all the tiny details along the way. Our room was wonderful with a sitting room and fire place we didn’t get a chance to use. The bath, shower and bed were absolutely wonderful. So comfortable as well as luxurious. The bed felt like a dream, the shower water pressure was fantastic.

We can’t wait for another excuse to stay here again.
